Trapster, avoiding the 'saman'

Here's a really useful application available on todays popular cellphones.

It's called TRAPSTER® and started out as a simple way to track where police speed traps so that users could avoid getting that 'saman'. TRAPSTER® has grown quickly and is now available as a mobile app for the three most popular smartphones on the market, the iPhone, Blackberry, and Android platforms as well as added text-messaging capability for the general mobile phones. TRAPSTER® allows people to use their phones as radar detectors, alerting you if you approach a reported speed trap and letting you report new ones. The best part is, all of this is free!

I've been using this application for a while now and I must say, it is most useful! Works remarkably well in the Klang Valley.

I have a confession to make. I always thought of myself to be quite up to date with gadgets and gizmos, a reasonable techie. I was properly brought to shame when my dad was the one who recommended I use this app. I was driving back to the office with him one day when I heard a weird police siren tone from his pocket. Puzzled, I asked him what that was...

Dad : You don't know what this is ahhh?!Leo : Nope, what the heck is that?Dad : It's Trapster lahh, Tells you where all the roadblocks, speedtrap and cameras are. Will give you warning some more.Leo : Really ah?! Whoa. Good app. Is it free arr?Dad : Yah, go download it la. I think they have it for Blackberry also.Leo : OK, OK.

*laughs* He knew a heck of a lot more than I did when it came to applications! Must be all the fiddling with his phones! Boys will be boys, and boys must have their toys. (^_^)

So, go sign up for an account now and get started using it. The more people reporting stuff, the more valuable this app becomes.

About Me

Cars. x Toys. x Life.

So... I'm supposed to write something "About Me". What can I say, it's pretty obvious I have a passion for cars. I love toys, gadgets and games. I enjoy my cartoons and anime (Gawd, I sound like a big geek). I'm living life and taking it as it comes one day at a time...
